Spent a bit of time circling around hoping the previous finders may missed something but nah, just the same no luck too. CO may have to check this one.
It took a while however I finally spotted the container on the ground without camo. Coords were good even though the GPSr was jumping about quite a bit. Replaced in an obvious nearby structure.

I had a quick scratch around, seeing the growing dnf list I moved on
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
No luck for me either. And the clue didn't help as it appears no.1 is archived and I hadn't previously found it.
Another day OCW marj01. After a very early start from the eastern subs we arrived at Ebenezer at first light to commence the day. During the course of the day we visited 69 trads, 4 multis, 2 puzzle and 2 letterbox caches. With only a handfull of dnfs it was a successfull day, with the majority of the caches being found in a reasonably short time. Thanks to all the COs for hiding and maintaining their caches and providing us with a fun day. No luck here for us today. Cheers oldmorty.
Yup no joy today... actually change that. Joy! I found it just after logging a dnf. Tftc7. #989
TFTC! Nice hide, picked up the hiding spot and accidentally moved it, luckily mbyrne26 was on the ball and spotted it when it fell out

#4480 (6 of 9 today)
For the first time in a while I actually needed to make a find today in order to meet my self-imposed goal of five finds per calendar day by the end of 2017 (ie one for each year in which I've cached). There are only two dates left both next month) for me to meet that goal. But as usual I've been hitting these dates harder than necessary - ie why find one when more than five are possible?
So today I was looking at a minimum of 6 finds today north of Windsor, and before I headed for home had grabbed nine (with no DNFs - bargain). I did leave a few for another day, though.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Started the search but the iPhone was moving around under the trees. Checked one spot right next to GZ - nope. Then a few minutes later came back and spotted a tell. Phew.
Made the grab and completed signing duties. Then replaced and away.

Adventure Monday with the geokids to clean out the last of a few series in the region. A cheeky hide this one! Coords were spot on. TNLN TFTC
I thought we'd have just enough time between finishing up at the CITO and attending the meet-and-greet event at the winery, as long as it didn't take too long to locate each find.
I saw this cache and another on my map, creating a little green blight in between my other yellow smileys. Time to put that right. So we headed down this road and stopped within a few metres of GZ. The others didn't want to leave the car, so I headed off for the search on my own.
Clever hide, nice and sneaky. When I got to GZ I looked around for some obvious spot and didn't see anything. So I had a closer look in the area the compass was pointing. Fortunately, I had found a similar hide not that long ago, so I recognised what I was seeing when I spotted it.
Name added to the log sheet, and then a quick trip further down the road for one more quickish find.

Final found this one nearly instantly today. The iPhone had me at GZ today rather than spinning in circles. Thanks SM for placing the cache Cheers

A big day around Sackville collecting 6xGC and 18xGCA caches.
Got to GZ and scratched my head. Couldn't spot anything obvious so expanded my search. Nope - still nothing. Back to where iPhone was pointing and had a closer look. Very sneaky indeed. Well done!

A sneaky concealment that almost had us fooled.
A glimpse of something out of place guided the way.

Tftc, Azzepious made the find. 'What's this?' I heard him say before he pulled something out leading to a cache. I had seen a hide like before but not in this manner. Clever hide!!
A quick trip to north richmond to pick a couple of vintage mowers , and pick up a few caches on the outskirts
34 caches were achieved , with no pattern or plan, just pickup driveby's , we missed a few because of walking as i cannot walk the best at present so we do what we can
all caches found in seconds , so all good, many thanx to all the cache placers, we will be back to finish the rest [^] till then cheers from the Routers

Today's in such beautiful weather I took a tour from Wilberforce to Ebenezer and took the ferry across the Hawkesbury back to Tizzana Road. I was able to look at old buildings along the tracks, taking a nice busch walk to enjoy the beautiful view of the river.
This tour was very nice and I have enjoyed myself very much
Thank you

#803 finally I found this one on my 3rd attempt, don't know why it took this long. First two goes the GPSr took me around in circles around the area & I didn't spot anywhere to look. Today it was the first spot I went to 'how did I miss this before' moment. S8gned the log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Splitty Miller JJCC
Out today to pick up a few I didn't have time to get to on a previous run around the area, quick find . Forgot to log this one the other dayTFTC
Having been in the area earlier this week for an event at Tizzana Winery I come back arm with a fully charged phone and new batteries in my GPS. I'm pushing to find 1000 by next Saturday I'm out for a big day. TFTC. This one took me a while but got it in the end just before I was going to give up. Fav point.
This one took us 2 attempts today. We were thrown by the clue at first, and then reading previous logs we guessed the coords were out. How wrong were we! On our return, we found the well camoed cache exactly where our GPS took us. Nice hide. TFTC!
Cheers,

Our gps's didn't quite want to cooperate out here, so we headed off in the wrong direction at first, but came good in the end. Nice little hide this one. SL TFTC
Once again dave8153 was too quick for me this evening, he made a quick find and off to the next one. TFTC
Headed out to Wilberforce with Snoopy1976 to do a couple of caches tonight. After Wood 1st we moved onto this one and made and easy find. TFTC
I took the long way to Windsor from the Central Coast today in order to visit Wisemans Ferry (to grab one of the 3 remaining caches I need to complete my "finds by hidden date" grid) and to explore the outreaches of Sackville and Ebenezer.
This one confused me a little as there are so many possible hiding spots and the hint didn't mean much to me. So, with more to find and the afternoon slipping away, I decided to leave this one until I make a return visit another day to finish off the EG-Q since time does not allow me to do so today. Maybe, though, I should do *Wood 1st* first.

ANZAC Day and day number 2 for this EG-Q trail plus some nearby caches. It was a good caching session along with thereimer, karennicole and Blundo Buster Jnr.
Thereimer left his geomobile idling again, as the cache was only 7m away. Quick find by KN.
Thanks for placing this cache and for maintaining it.

Ebenezer trip part 2 with karennicole, blundobuster and BBJnr. Parked at the gate and wasn't long before the cache was found by karennicole. TFTC.
Found on a fun family caching adventure with thereimer, Blundo Blusters and Blundo Buster Jnr on Anzac Day. This was our second day exploring historic Ebenezer and the wonderful caches in the area. Found quickly although I still have no idea what the clue meant. Thanks Spliity Miller JJCC
TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Hint interesting!
The hint had me all confused but today I wanted to find this cache so I decided to read the cache page, a little Google search and I think I know what I am looking for. Get to GZ and look at that - I find number 3 of 8 right at the coords and I spied the cache handle as well. I love these huge bisons, never have a problem with getting the log sheet in or out of them. SL #2390 on streak day #1283 TFTC

Great day out for caching - enjoyed this series with Everlasting and skyejam. Thanks for the cache.
A lovely hot day for geocaching with sevabo and Everlasting. sevabo found the cache. TFTH
We returned today to continue collecting the Ebenezer Geo-Quest caches. This one was enroute so we nabbed it along the way. Still not sure how the clue fitted what we found though.

We were out for a morning cache hunt with phantom cyclist. This one was no problem as we had found the one similar some time ago and remembered the type of hide. TFTC.
Out of the GeoReindeer for a short follow of the Garmin. Well, that was of little success ... For the Hint then ... aah, have that in one - or three ... a dnf methinks. A pause, a ponder ... surely not? 'Tis not pretty to see a 'mushroom cry - with joy. TFTC Splitty Miller JJCC
Out today with the geomum and today we were on our way to the Hawkesbury Meet and greet event. On the way home we grabbed a few caches with Paul the Hippy.

Looking at the road trip challenge calendar we decided to kill two birds with one stone and head for the Hawkesbury meet and greet event at the Tizzana Winery good to see and meet a number of geocachers from another area as well a few quick finds of some of the local caches themselves found with jfindit on the way to the event tftc
This cache rounded out my foray into Ebenezer today. It was a slow trip down the road to GZ as a pair of Kangaroos were keeping me company. They finally found a spot to get through a fence and disappear into the bush.
At GZ a short walk and a quick find was made. tftc

After the heavy rain stopped we had a bit of sunshine. Though that didn't clear away the large mass of water which is still covering several bits of the road around here.
I had to go through this series in the reverse order due to floods.
Glad there was some high ground here, as it would have been very difficult otherwise.

I had no idea what the first part of the hint meant, so I focussed on the second part & just searched for a miniature version of #1. Found the cache pretty quickly using that criteria.

Found in the first place I looked, watch out for the bullants here. Angry little suckers.
What a beautiful day, enjoyed drive to Ferry for geocaching with KamFindit..., Hide well.. Thank
Lovely day today enjoyed drive around of small town Sackvilla for series with ALL7... Easy to find as no trouble..Thanks
Had a most enjoyable morning doing the Sackville loops of caches.
I liked Wood#1 and this cache was also very well hidden, by the looks of GZ it has fooled a few people.

Drove around after the winery hide. For some reason unbeknownst to me, the GPS froze upon leaving the car. Walked down the fire trail for about 60m before it started again, thus from here, I had no issues. Signed and returned, then headed over to the double hides close together, thanks yeamMerlin
*** FTF ***
You nearly had me barking up the wrong tree and I was stumped for a while. I was also thinking the whole cache seemed pretty shady to me, but I wooden have expected anything else from this wood series. Nicely played.
Thank you for your Wood series Splitty Miller JJCC - excellent work.

We were in the area today doing the other series when Canary saw that this cache was published. So we came he thinking we might get FTF. Team Merlin had already been here, though, which was fitting, since he provided us with two FTFs today. We searched around for a bit, but Canary eventually turned up the cache. Thanks
#2942- I hadn't found the first Wood cache, so for me that wasn't going to be of much use. I started reading, then the misunderstanding of the clue became obvious. Canary was enjoying watching us trying to spot it, after he know what to look for. Thanks
Out with bikerbuddy and WaywardWoman.
A tricky hide with a cryptic clue that was eventually deciphered. I had already stumbled on it by then though.
